For the past decade, weโ€™ve lived in an era of abundant, relatively cheap energy. But as we move through March 2026, the "pre-Iran War" state of the market is officially a memory. ๐Ÿญ. ๐˜ฝ๐™š๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™๐™ž๐™ฅ๐™ฅ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™‹๐™ค๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ฉ: ๐™๐™๐™š "๐™’๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™™๐™ค๐™ฌ" ๐™ž๐™จ ๐˜พ๐™ก๐™ค๐™จ๐™š๐™™ The most critical takeaway from recent energy summits is that the chance for a "quick fix" has evaporated. โ€ข Supply Chain Snarls: Between 10% and 20% of the worldโ€™s oil and natural gas flows are currently offline due to the war. โ€ข The Shut-In Problem: You can't just flip a switch to bring production back. Key producers in the Gulf, like Kuwait, have had to shut in wells that will take months to reach full capacity again. โ€ข The Prediction: Experts now believe high energy prices could stretch well into 2027. ๐Ÿฎ. ๐™๐™๐™š "๐™๐™ค๐™ก๐™ก๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐˜ฟ๐™ž๐™จ๐™ง๐™ช๐™ฅ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ" ๐™ˆ๐™ค๐™ซ๐™š๐™จ ๐™’๐™š๐™จ๐™ฉ Much like the early days of COVID, this energy shock is unfolding sequentially. โ€ข Phase 1 (Asia): Economies in the Philippines and Bangladesh are already rationing power and closing universities to save electricity. โ€ข Phase 2 (Africa & Europe): The pain is hitting Europe now, with airlines already adding fuel surcharges to tickets. โ€ข The Demand Drop: J.P. Morgan predicts Asian oil demand will soon drop by 3 million barrels a day. As demand craters in one region, the "inflationary fire" moves to the next. ๐Ÿฏ. ๐™๐™๐™š "๐™‰๐™š๐™ฌ ๐™‰๐™ซ๐™ž๐™™๐™ž๐™–"? ๐™€๐™ฃ๐™š๐™ง๐™œ๐™ฎ ๐™ซ๐™จ. ๐˜ฝ๐™ž๐™œ ๐™๐™š๐™˜๐™ In a shocking valuation flip, Exxon Mobil (XOM) is now trading at the same price-to-earnings ratio as Nvidia. Historically, energy majors traded at a 60% discount to tech giants. โ€ข The Logic: In a world of "choked supply," profits for energy companies are soaring. โ€ข The Dow Advantage: The DJIA is benefiting from this rally in value and low-volatility stocks, while the "Magnificent Seven" tech stocks are lagging as energy-driven inflation eats into their margins. ๐Ÿฐ. ๐™Ž๐™๐™–๐™ก๐™š: ๐™๐™๐™š ๐™‡๐™–๐™จ๐™ฉ ๐™‡๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™š ๐™ค๐™› ๐˜ฟ๐™š๐™›๐™š๐™ฃ๐™จ๐™š? With OPEC control looking shaky and Middle Eastern infrastructure sustaining lasting damage (including Shell and Exxon plants in Qatar), the world is looking back to U.S. Shale. โ€ข The Deficit: By the end of June, the global oil deficit could balloon to 900 million barrels. โ€ข The Plays: Keep a close eye on shale leaders like Diamondback Energy (FANG), Occidental (OXY), and Devon Energy (DVN). While they haven't hit past highs yet, they are the "easiest" sources to turn back on fast. ๐™๐™๐™š ๐˜ฝ๐™ค๐™ฉ๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™ข ๐™‡๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™š: We are in a tough spot globally, but for the disciplined investor, the "Energy Pivot" is the most important trade of the year. My portfolio remains positive YTD because we recognized early that the "Generals" (Tech) were retreating and the "Energy Troops" were taking the hill. $SPX500 $NSDQ100 $GOLD $BTC
